Me Too Monologues is a production of Duke's Center for Race Relations, a student-run group dedicated to a deeper understanding of the human race.

DISCLAIMER

The Center for Race Relations and Me Too Monologues do not subscribe to the opinions expressed in the individual monologues. The purpose of the show isn’t to put forth a specific viewpoint. It’s about the true stories about race from the eyes of Duke students. We believe it’s valuable to get all the voices heard. Even the ones that seem politically incorrect or unpalatable. That’s how you get dialogue, that’s how people get to the core of the issues, and above all, that’s how you get honesty.

We’ve found that people are intimidated or discouraged to attend dialogues about race relations because they feel they can’t be completely honest, maybe because of who is sponsoring the dialogue, because it’s “not PC” to express what they feel… whatever reason. The Me Too Monologues explores the complexities of these experiences about race relations. We discuss how difficult it is to be a woman of color, how a Latina mother told her daughter she couldn’t date a black man, and yes, why someone is intimidated by large groups of black women or doesn’t understand modern day Islam. These are all true stories, and they are constructive to hear.

That said, if anyone is very affected by a monologue, we don’t want you to feel as if we aren’t listening. Although we will not approve comments on our blog that incite debate, there are other outlets for having these kinds of dialogues on campus, specifically through the Center for Race Relations. You can contact us at our website and arrange to have a dialogue about an issue. Or, you could even submit a monologue of your own– we encourage these stories to be based on personal feelings and experiences, rather than political discussions. In any case, we hope you understand that we are all about the dialogue— from all sides of the discussion.
